Dr. Mark Orchard, from Oxford Free Methodist Church in Oxford, offered the following invocation:

“Our Father, God:

I thank You for the privilege and honor of invoking Your blessing on this legislative body.

We pause for a moment in the middle of this day and the beginning of another legislative session to acknowledge Your sovereignty and lordship.

We cannot help but observe the emergence of Spring, the reawakening of Your creation all about us—the singing of the birds, colorful flowers poking through the green grass, and the warming of the days. You have, indeed, placed us in a beautiful garden—the garden of the great state of Michigan in the midst of the abundant fresh waters of our glistening lakes. We are blessed!

Today we thank You for life itself, for our existence in this garden, for our fellowman, for the plethora of resources surrounding us, and for the opportunities we have to serve others.

I ask that You attend to the needs of each person here today. Grant that the ladies and gentlemen that roam these aisles be endowed with truth, honor, and integrity both in their personal lives and professional endeavors.

We stand amazed at how insignificant we are in Your garden in the great spectrum of time, but we also stand amazed at the magnitude of our challenges and responsibilities. In realizing this, we humbly implore Your infinite wisdom to guide and direct us.

We know that the essence of wisdom is to discern right from wrong, and we ask that You share Your boundless knowledge and understanding with us. As issues are deliberated and solutions pursued, may self-interests be avoided and effective solutions be found.

Father, we cannot anticipate all the dilemmas that will confront us, but we are certain of Your care, love, and wisdom as a constant source of stability.

And finally, Father, I pray that You will embolden these ladies and gentlemen to perform the actions that demonstrate Your eternal qualities of love, mercy, justice, and forgiveness. May our great State be the beneficiary of the beautiful bouquet formed by caring, conscientious, and competent gardeners.

In the strong name of Christ we pray. Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 63.

A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Carroll C. Newton, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, It is with great sadness that the members of this legislative body learned of the passing of Carroll C. Newton. For nearly 30 years, he served our state with integrity and dedication, first as the state representative for the people of Barry, Clinton, and Eaton counties and later as the state’s chief deputy treasurer. His hard work and commitment to his family, his community, and our state will be long remembered and cherished; and

Whereas, Born and raised in Barry County, Carroll Newton lived a life of serving others. A farmer by trade, he started his career of public service when he was elected Barry Township Supervisor. As supervisor, he also represented his township on the Barry County Board of Supervisors for 10 years, rising to the position of chairman of that board; and

Whereas, In 1955, Carroll Newton was elected state representative for the first time. For 10 years, he served in this legislative body, beginning as a member of the Labor, Military and Veterans’ Affairs, Public Utilities, and Village Corporations committees. He spent the majority of his tenure as a member of the Ways and Means Committee, serving as chairman of that committee and earning the respect and trust of his colleagues; and

Whereas, Following his time in the House of Representatives, Carroll Newton briefly served as assistant auditor general to the state. In 1965, he was appointed chief deputy state treasurer, serving under Governor William G. Milliken and Treasurer Allison Green. For the next 16 years, he admirably served the people of Michigan in this capacity until his retirement in 1981; and

Whereas, Carroll Newton enjoyed a long retirement, remaining active in state and local politics and enjoying the company of family and friends. Upon his passing, we offer our condolences to his family and friends. We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the community as a whole shares in their bereavement, and that the legacy of Carroll Newton’s contributions will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Carroll C. Newton, a member of this legislative body from 1955 to 1964; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Newton family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

(a) To act by an order issued in the name of the board and signed by the members of the board. The signature of the designee of a member, when the designee is acting for his or her principal, has the same force and effect as the signature of the member.

(b) To authorize and make loans; to renegotiate the terms of outstanding loans; and to make, execute, and deliver contracts and other instruments necessary or convenient to the exercise of its powers.

(f) To serve notice upon a municipality of an order relating to the municipality issued by the board.

Rep. Chirkun, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against House Bills 4325, 4326, 4327, 4328, 4329, 4330, and 4331 because I believe this package creates another layer of government within the Department of Treasury to deal with issues that are better addressed at the local level and at an astronomical cost to taxpayers. Instead of offering school districts the tools and resources necessary to succeed, such as proper funding and training for new school board members or allow the ISD’s to work with local school districts, these bills just fast-track the state’s ability to take over school districts without any consideration of the academic needs of the students.”

Rep. Nesbitt moved that House Bill No. 4332 be placed on its immediate passage.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
